Guys,
Jill is for real. She might not beat the record because it is a tough course but she should be good for a 54:00 at the longest. Everyone seems so shocked that these Ultra runners are coming out and crushing "elite" records. Whatever, we don't have "elites" in ultra and your records are soft
Care to show your examples of ultras coming out and "crushing" these elite records?
Nobody honestly cares if Jill is an ultra runner or not, so you're missing the point. It's just completely irresponsible and unprofessional of the Rotary Club and the coach in how they're handling this. The RD didn't even know the course needed to be USATF certified or that drug testing needed to be in place to count as a record. You can see his conversation on Facebook.
So if Jill is "for real" as you claim, then why is she working with these idiots when she could be signing a contract with Nike?
